I used a 2.5" coupler.
I think someone broke the v-band ring off my compressor before I got the turbo. It looks like it's been chipped off with a hammer or something.

Been a while since I updated...
Got a nice Clarke 180EN to use. It belongs to a friend, but he doesn't have 220V in his garage, so it lives at my place. :1
I mounted some Corbeau LG-1s:
After I converted the hubs/wheels to 5x114.3, I decided to use ~10.75" RX7 rear rotors, so I designed a new bracket that mimics the old one, but spaces the caliper out .375" from the original location (10" dia. rotors):
Attempted to take some hoity-toity artsy-fartsy pics of the car posing around town:
Went to the track and broke an axle.
Blew a headgasket:
Drove to Pennsylvania with jeffescortlx for the All-Ford Nationals:
HMT style
Colt 45
Stopped at Honda East in Maumee, Ohio on the way home and picked up a Ruckus. These ******* were sold out pretty much everywhere.
Stuck in traffic in Shitcago...
Good times.

Just a couple videos of me at the track. I'm almost embarrassed to post them, because I ran so ------- slow. 
I managed to take a leisurely roll down the track... 14.55 @ 98 MPH... that's at 12 psi. If I could launch it, I think it would be good for 13s. Still ------- slow. :1

wheel hop/axle breakage: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...28113196&hl=en
I turned the boost up to 20 psi and started doing some more tuning a few weeks ago, but I got carried away and blew the headgasket again. I'm gonna get an ICS Titan or something this time. Stock replacement gaskets don't like my hamfisted tuning methods.
I guess you've gotta blow on it HARD when you've got low compression and a heavyish (~2900lb) car. Maybe 30 psi is in order.
